Lamine Yamal handed Spain’s number 10 shirt for England Nations League game

Lamine Yamal will wear Spain’s number 10 shirt when they face England in their final Nations League group-stage match on Sunday evening.

The Barcelona forward usually wears 19 for the national team, including during Spain’s successes at the European Championship and World Cup. The game will be played at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Spain.

Yamal was given the number 10 shirt by Barcelona in the summer of 2025. Dani Olmo wore the same number for Spain during the first international break of the current season.

Spain’s decision on who will retain the shirt is expected to be made when Olmo returns from injury, with both players potentially included in the same squad.

This is not the first time Yamal has worn number 10 for Spain. He previously used it in the Nations League match against Denmark on 12 October 2024, when Spain won 1-0 in Murcia.

Spain will be without Alejandro Grimaldo for Sunday’s fixture after the defender left the national team camp on Saturday because of a fever. Alvaro Paez, Jacobo Ramon, De Frutos and Roberto are also unavailable.

Both Spain and England have already secured their places in the Nations League quarter-finals.
